Histamine in stool Test
The Histamine in Stool test from GetTested helps identify elevated histamine levels in the digestive system, which can be linked to conditions like histamine intolerance, food allergies, and gastrointestinal disorders. This non-invasive test provides a detailed insight into your gut health, offering valuable information for those experiencing symptoms related to histamine overload. If you’re looking to test for histamine intolerance specifically, we recommend the Histamine Intolerance Test instead.

The Histamine in Stool test is designed to measure the level of histamine in the stool, which can indicate histamine intolerance or an IgE-mediated food allergy. Elevated histamine levels may result from impaired production of Diamine Oxidase (DAO), chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal conditions like celiac disease or Crohn's disease, food intolerances (IgG), or stress-related mast cell breakdown.
Difference Between Histamine in Stool and Blood DAO Test
It's important to understand the difference between this stool test and a blood-based histamine intolerance test, which measures DAO enzyme activity. The blood test evaluates the body’s ability to break down histamine, whereas the Histamine in Stool test measures histamine levels directly within the digestive system. This provides specific insights into gastrointestinal-related histamine issues, which the blood test does not address.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
